Hey guys I need your help. A friend of mine got denied this morning because he didn’t show strong ties to Nigeria. He applied to Troy university Alabama, computer science, fall semester 2018.

Please how can he improve to better his chances for his next interview. Here’s his transcript

1.)i was asked how many universities I apply to

And I replied saying just Troy

2.) she asked me why I applied to just Troy

And I told her that I considered the fact that I wanted to enter school by this
summer and by the time I had done all the required exams most of the colleges admission portal has been closed so Troy was recommended to me by my dad and I did a little bit of home work on the school and found out that it was a great fit for me

3)she asked me if I took the required exams

And then asked for my sat result

4) then she asked me why I chose computer science to be my major

And I told her that ever since I was little I’ve always had passion for computers and innovative technology,and over the years as I grew older so did my passion for technology
Also,computer science is a vast area of opportunity. I can either become a tech preneur father my computer science education,specialization,certifications and gaining some work experience through internships

Or I can work for some of the top tech companies in Nigeria like ibm,google,Microsoft

Lastly I feel Nigeria is going to be a technology power houses someday through hard work determination and talent and I personally want to be one of the major contributors to Nigeria’s technological advancements

5.)she asked me what courses I’ll be doing in the university and how that will help me reach my goal
And I said I’ll be doing the General courses line math English and my main courses like physics computer science and programming then I said it would be a huge advantage to me if I study them in the USA given that the USA is the leading tech country in the world

6.) she asked me if I had any relatives in the USA or in Canada

And I said no

Then she told me the reason why she won’t issue the visa to which is because I didn’t show enough ties to my country.

Thanks for your help in advance

Anyone please

Explorers:
Sir Ernest Shackleton’s great-grandson becomes the first person to cross Antarctica in a family car after recreating the legendary British explorer's 3,500-mile trek 100 years later.




His great-grandfather was one of Britain's most famous explorers, and now Patrick Bergel has now entered the history books himself with a daring expedition.

The great-grandson of Sir Ernest Shackleton has become the first person to travel across Antarctica in a family car, battling snowstorms, merciless terrain and temperatures which plunged as low as minus 28C.

Bergel, 46, travelled more than 3,500 miles through the snow to commemorate Shackleton's heroic Transatlantic expedition of 1914 to 1917.

Bergel was part of a small team which spent December driving for 20 hours a day.

Details of the adventure have only been revealed today.
